Default Toad Festival Goodies!

The Toad Festival is coming up on June 7th...if you haven't already signed up this might interest you...

A few items of interest to you mnt. bike riders that are going to be either given away to the top scoring riders or raffled off to raise money for TACA (Talk About Curing Autism)....

2008 XTR Cranks
Fox Fork (ummm...which one?)
Niterider Evolution Smart Light
Path Clothing & Jerseys
Lot's of $25 gift card for The Path
2008 XT SPD Pedals
2008 XT disc brake set
2008 XTR rear der.
Camelbak Outlaw Pack
Serfas Sunglasses
Shimano clothing

Rumor has it that Switchback may be donating a bike too......remember last year there was a Blur LT Frame...who knows what will be there this year!

Keep your eye's posted on here for more to come!

Also, if you have anything you would like to donate for the raffle to raise money for a great cause with TACA...we are making gift baskets in the next couple of weeks.

A couple of other raffle items teasers... A one-hour private flight in a Cessna out of Fullerton airport (thanks Chipster) and an incredible gift basket from StressBusters Spa including a one-hour massage and top-quality products valued at $225.

I have no idea what the Toad Festival is (a running of the toads?), but that sure is an impressive prize list!

I remember them talking about this at the Oneill after ride lunch. It sounded fun but WAY to long for me so when I say there was a short version I signed up for that.

How fast can you pedal! No really usually we are doing the awards and raffle at around 2pm...we don't start til all the riders are back so they can participate....

During the Toad ride you carry a score card and play games along the way....you get extra points if you find little plastic toads we hide on the trail....then when everyone gets back we add up the totals and the high scoring people on the games get to choose from some fun product we have for you....

We are also doing a seperate raffle that you can buy additional raffle tickets for and that money as well goes to the Talk About Curing Autism Foundation.....

Great fun day but usually you are there for a while...

This year...you need to be PRESENT to WIN at the raffle!

Pugz, you don't have to ride in the Toad to enter the raffle. You can show up at O'Neill park, buy some raffle tickets and just join in the fun there.

I was debating whether i was going to do this but eff it I'M IN! Went to the website though and wasn't sure how to register. Can someone help me out?

Ok I found out how to register but the button for the Full Ride isn't clickable. Does that mean the ride is full?

It says FULL, so I guess it's full. You can still show up for the raffles and hang out. Who knows, you might win a bike.

Spoke to Sherry yesterday and she told me that there are about 40 spots left. Sign up to ride or just show up for the raffle. lots of goodies to be had. I'd love to be sporting those XTR cranks on the Tribal to go with the XTR wheels I won last year.

Here's the link:

Raffle tickets ususally go for $1 each, but there is usually some kind of deal when you buy much more.
